As for the so called bloody nose and the head wound who is to say these wounds, if they do exist, could not have been manufactured after the fact? If Zimmerman is engaged in a cover up, Sanford Police are also involved.

[Black Star News Editorial]

Now Sanford Police claim that George Zimmerman, the killer of TrayvonMartin was actually the victim. There are now reports that the 17 yearold rail skinny teenager, who weighed more than 100 pounds less than his killer, had somehow attacked Zimmerman, 28, thrown him to the ground,blooded his nose and smashed the back of his head on the ground.

This information comes out one month after Martin's killing. It was supposedly passed on by Sanford Police to State investigators. But nowhere does it definitively say that the information was gathered by Sanford Police from Zimmerman. As The New York Times reportsit, the Sanford Police said it was “consistent with the information provided to the state attorney’s office by the Police Department.”

Was this information obtained by police at the scene or provided long after the incident to police by Zimmerman? In other words is it mis-information? Is it real evidence? There is reason for skepticism.

By someconvenient coincidence the "information" is suddenly available at the same time that people who want to tarnish the dead boy's reputation aredisseminating information about his brief suspension from school at thetime of his killing--that some traces of marijuana had been found in his belonging.

As if this in itself would then somehow justify his murder. Sign of desperation or the same pattern of racist stereotypingwe have seen all along involving this case? Are the authorities inSanford with the rest of us in the 21st century yet?

TheSanford Police are not credible. Why wasn't Zimmerman interviewed at the scene of the shooting on the night of the shooting?

Whywasn't DNA evidence captured from Zimmerman if indeed, as his defensenow contends, he was the victim of an attack from Trayvon that left himbloodied?

Why was he allowed to return to his home with his weapon which was never seized for ballistic testing?

If indeed Zimmerman had been assaulted and wounded by Martin, why has theSanford Police Department been secretive since the killing instead ofquickly publicizing this fact on the night of the incident?

After all, the Police Department must have been concerned. It had not yetrecovered from negative publicity following the near beating to death of a Black homeless man by the son of a police officer which had resultedin no charges and no arrests.

So why does it seem that the credible and fates of the Sanford Police as well as Zimmerman's now seem so closely aligned?

Could it be that Zimmerman was actually coached by the police about what to say and he now has something on them?

The police may not be incompetent---they may actually be culpable and thatpossibility can't be ruled out. How was it possible that they could nothave known the identity of the dead boy for three days when his cellphone was available to them?

Had it not been for the power ofSocial Media, which has opened this case before the entire world, thepolice would still be mute. Now they should actually shut up and allowthe FBI to take overall control, working with State authorities.

Zimmerman himself is not credible. He had racist animus towards his victim andreferred to him as a "coon" though he didn't even know the boy. It wasenough for Zimmerman that Trayvon was Black to make him worthy ofhatred, scorn, and evidently death.

Forget about the one Black friend who has been paraded before multiple television shows to claimthat Zimmerman isn't racist. Disgraced New York Police Officer Justin Volpe, who sodomized Abner Louima with a plunger, had a Black girlfriend.

Listen carefully to Zimmerman's 911 call to thedispatcher. This is not the call of an individual who is concerned about or afraid of a possible criminal in the neighborhood, otherwise hewould not have pursued the boy when he was told to back off by thedispatcher.

This is a call from someone trying to pre-establish an alibi. Zimmerman used the standard 101 racist stereotypes aboutBlack suspects while speaking to the dispatcher. He wanted the person on the other end of the line to visualize a dangerous, Black criminal in a hoodie, with his hands on his waist, and who was on drugs. Zimmermanwanted a witness; even though the dispatcher wasn't there and couldn'tsee, Zimmerman knew that his words --a White man describing a Black"criminal"-- would suffice to conjure up the image of a criminal.

He was now inoculated from any negative consequences from the action hewas prepared to then undertake-- including the killing of Trayvon. Itnever occurred to Zimmerman that all the attributes he had describedcould actually be associated with someone who had not intentions tocommit any crime that night. He figured that even if it turned outTrayvon was not a criminal, he could be excused since he possessed theattributes associated with a criminal in Zimmerman's world; Black manwearing hoodie with hands on waist.

A witness has already saidSanford Police did not seem interested in that witness' information when it appeared not to match the narrative preferred by the police andZimmerman.

As for the so called bloody nose and the head woundwho is to say these wounds, if they do exist, could not have beenmanufactured after the fact by Zimmerman with assistance from certain quarters?

If Zimmerman is engaged in a cover up, Sanford Police are also involved. If Police are engaged in a coverup, Zimmerman too is playing his part.
